New Permissions Required (22.3.2)

⚠️

New Permission Required: AZURE

For AZURE Standard (Read-Only) Users: “Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/read”

“Microsoft.Network/trafficManagerProfiles/read” is required to support the Azure Traffic Manager resource. [ENG-14511]

Features & Enhancements (22.3.2)

Center for Internet Security (CIS) - GCP 1.3.0 Release 22.3.2 introduces a new Compliance Pack: Center for Internet Security (CIS) - GCP 1.3.0. The new pack includes just over 20 additional GCP Insights (listed under “Insights” below), as well as additional data properties across several resource types. [ENG-16054]

AWS

  • Replaced harvesting of ECR basic findings with gathering of Container Image vulnerabilities using Inspector V2 only. All vulnerability info for container images is now shown in the Vulnerability sidenav; associated columns in the resource listing table (Last Scanned, Finding Count, High, Medium and Low) have been removed. Two Query Filters–Resource Vulnerable To Specific Vulnerability (CVE) and Resource Vulnerability Count have been modified to support the Container Images resource type. [ENG-15814]

  • All AWS STS AssumeRole session credentials are now automatically refreshed when the harvester or task takes longer than the expiration time. This behavior is now consistent across all AWS session management. [ENG-12653]

GCP Enabled Dynamic Harvesting for Google Cloud accounts on the Harvesting Strategy Listing page. [ENG-16306]

MULTI-CLOUD/GENERAL

  • To reduce confusion, we are hiding the Create Exemptions button when Show exempted resources is selected in the Report Card view of the Compliance Scorecard. [ENG-16373]

  • Added the Insight Severity to the Cloud Results worksheet of the Compliance Scorecard export. [ENG-16166]

  • Improved the loading times of the Event Driven Harvesting overview page. [ENG-15630]

  • Added a setting on the system admin page to generate a message to be displayed on the login screen. Also added the ability to enable/disable the display of this message. [ENG-12485]

  • Added Network and Route Table related to the subnet to the Dependencies tab of the resource property panel for private subnets. [ENG-9286]

Resources (22.3.2)

AWS

  • Expanded MSK Serverless visibility to now harvest in all supported regions. Additional information on the MSK expanded availability can be found here. [ENG-16193]

AZURE

GCP

  • Added support for additional GCP Recommenders into the Recommendations/Recommendation Findings resource types. Added a new Query Filter Service Role with Recommendation attached (GCP) to support this capability. Newly supported types are [ENG-15549]:

    • ‘google.cloudsql.instance.IdleRecommender’,
    • ‘google.cloudsql.instance.OutOfDiskRecommender’,
    • ‘google.cloudsql.instance.OverprovisionedRecommender’,

Query Filters (22.3.2)

AWS

  • Database Instance/Database Cluster Affected By AWS Security Bulletin - AWS-2022-004 - This updated Query Filter was renamed from AWS Security Bulletin - AWS-2022-004 - Information Exposure from RDS Service Credentials for clarity and consistency with QF naming conventions. [ENG-15761]

  • Resource Vulnerability Count - This Query Filter updated to support the Container Images resource type. [ENG-15814]

  • Resource Vulnerable To Specific Vulnerability (CVE)- This Query Filter updated to support the Container Images resource type. [ENG-15814]

GCP

  • Service Role with Recommendation attached (GCP) - New Query Filter supports additional GCP Recommenders in the Recommendations/Recommendation Findings resource types. [ENG-15549]

MULTI-CLOUD/GENERAL

  • Instance Running Unapproved Image (Regex/Age) Updated Query Filter to add an option “not_match”. This allows matching of image names which do not match the supplied expression. [ENG-13048]

Bug Fixes (22.3.2)

  • [ENG-16395] Fixed a bug where removing a custom Insight from a custom pack deletes that Insight.

  • [ENG-16349] We have updated several Bot actions so that they follow the intended behavior of removing scheduled events prior to their execution when a resource transitions from non-compliant to compliant. For example, if a message is scheduled via the Bot action “Publish to Notification Topic With Target” about a resource that is non-compliant and – before the scheduled message is sent – the resource becomes compliant, the scheduled delivery of the message will be removed.

  • [ENG-16327] Fixed a bug with Query Filters Content Delivery Network With/Without Region Specific Geo Restriction Block and Content Delivery Network With/Without Region Specific Geo Restriction Allow to ensure all regions specified are accounted for in the query.

  • [ENG-16316] Fixed a bug where a credential health check mistook the expiration on AWS AssumeRole credentials and preemptively disabled the account.

  • [ENG-16218] Fixed a bug related to “Read the Docs” links from the Insights page.

  • [ENG-16213] Fixed a bug with Web Application Firewall (WAF) harvester.

  • [ENG-16194] Fixed a bug that prevented the use of the Bot action “Cleanup Resource Access Policy” on AWS Glacier resources.

  • [ENG-15715] Fixed AWS Content Delivery Network Resources in IaC for compatibility with Exemption Rules. Exemption Rules will now check against CloudFront Distributions’ CFT logical IDs and Terraform addresses, rather than the domain at which they serve content.

  • [ENG-15566] Fixed a bug in the action “Remove Tags From Resource” when the Case Sensitive option is enabled.

  • [ENG-15390] Fixed an issue where AWS GovCloud accounts were showing an impaired visibility icon after the IncompletePermissionsScan processor ran.

  • [ENG-14567] Fixed edge case where Organizations created based on other Organizations created duplicate global packs/Insights.

  • [ENG-12653] Fixed a bug involving AWS STS AssumeRole session credentials failing when the harvester or task took longer than the expiration time. This behavior is now consistent across all AWS session management.

  • [ENG-10246] Fixed a bug that prevented the inspection of Threat Finding details on an individual resource through the property panel.
